Spain's current account balance retreats to 1.8 billion in May

7/31/2026

1.8 billion is Spain's current account balance for May, down 0.1 billion from the 1.9 billion recorded in the prior period.

The positive reading means Spain's external flows registered a net inflow position for the month, though at a lower level than before.

The release provides no component breakdown, no year-on-year figure, and no revision to the prior print.
